donna, how toxic is this battle over chuck hagel? can he really be an effective defense secretary given how poise john this debate has been? >> i'm sure that once the vote is held on tuesday, mr. hagel will go on to do a great job at the defense department. he's a great public servant, a decorated vietnam veteran. there's no question that his performance during the nomination here will not garner him to have strong support from the democrats, all 55 of them, and he will receive the necessary votes to break the filibuster. senator shelby indicated yesterday he will support mr. hagel. and as you well know, i mr. mcc ayotte in new hampshire, but they're not on the letter. so perhaps we'll get even more support on tuesday. >> do you have any reason to believe the president will withdraw this nomination, ari, or that hagel himself will ask that his name be withdrawn? >> no, i think that would be the best thing for our nation, if that were to happen. you know, donna's right. he won't get an oscar, but i wish he did. i wish that was an act.
